Many a good story is told about smoking and smokers. The latest comes from Auckland. A bricklayer was cajlled sharply to account by his foreman for smoking “on the Job.” “I’m not smoking,” he replied. “But your pipe is in your mduth,” declared the angry foreman. “That’s right,” said the bricklayer. “And my boots are on my feet, but I’m not walking.” The foreman passed on. By the way, if you are looking for something special in the shape of ’baccy, try our N.Z. varieties. They are excellent, and their fine flavour and delightful fragrance are largely due to the fact that the leaf is toasted. This is quite a novel, idea., Also (uiilike the imported) they contain only a trifling percentage of nicotine. That’s why doctors favour them. Thanks to their wonderful purity they may be smoked all day long without fear of consequences. They come in several strengths. Riverhead Gold is mild; Navy Cut is medium ; and Cut Plug No. 10 is a splendid full-flavoured tobacco. The latest addition is Cavendish Mixture.*
